Why do you now need access to all files permission?

GNOME Software prompted me for this update: grafik

It says:

Can access any files

(highlighting by me)

Why do you now need access to all files? Was not the idea that exploits or so in a PDF viewer could be mitigated/not have suhc a bad effect if it does not have access to all files? Now, it has access to all files? IMHO that makes no sense, and I'd kindly ask you to reconsider this decicion.
